Lenovo has simply introduced the ThinkPad P16 cell workstation, which options Intel’s HX-series cell processors which are practically as quick as desktop processors.
A TDP (thermal design level) of 55W is effectively past the CPUs usually used for productiveness functions. Growing the TDP is essential as a result of larger efficiency requires extra energy (and wonderful cooling).
Lenovo says it has redesigned the cooling system utilized within the ThinkPad P16 with twin vapor chambers. Each CPU and GPU share some heat-dissipation {hardware}, which works nice regardless of how the workload is balanced throughout each chips.
The vent design seems wonderful, and I anticipate the airflow to surpass what we had seen on the ThinkPad P15 Gen2, which we reviewed. Many gaming laptops have extra aggressive airflow designs, and I’d like to see how Lenovo’s carry out in the actual world.
Lenovo says its strongest CPU possibility will likely be a 3.6GHz Intel Core i9 HX. However that’s not all: the highest graphics possibility is much more power-hungry (115W TDP) in the event you go for the NVIDIA RTX A5500. That’s totally regular for this degree of efficiency, nevertheless it’s an unbelievable degree of {hardware} in a small quantity.
As a result of it’s a workstation, there’s an possibility to make use of as much as 128GB of DDR5-4800 ECC (or not) RAM, and the 2 SSD slots can accommodate as much as 8TB of SSD storage (maybe with a RAID possibility?). These are formidable reminiscence and storage choices you received’t discover on consumer-level laptops.
The 16” display is a bit greater than the 15.6” we usually see, and probably the most thrilling possibility I’ve seen is the 4K OLED with 100% DCI-P3 colour protection and 400 NITs brightness. If, for some cause, you want one thing brighter, the IPS LCD possibility can attain 600 NITs.
This laptop computer isn’t small. At 14.3×10.5×1.2 and 6.5 Lbs, it’s on the heavier aspect, and you possibly can conceptually discover barely lighter laptops with a comparatively comparable degree of graphics efficiency.
However the ThinkPad P16 reminiscence and storage choices will fulfill probably the most demanding professionals, and Lenovo’s safety and administration choices cater to this crowd. Lastly, there are the final sturdiness of the ThinkPad lineup and the keyboard high quality, which stay enduring (if not indispensable) pillars to customers.
